[00:00.00]Learn to be a Leader 培养领导素质
[00:05.62]Today’s youth seem content to take the easy route
[00:09.56]and enjoy the ride of life.
[00:11.31]When tough situations arise,
[00:13.40]they often pout1 and complain.
[00:15.68]How you live your teen years will have a profound impact
[00:19.18]on the rest of your life.
[00:20.39]You must learn to utilize2 your time wisely.
[00:23.02]You may not see it now,
[00:24.76]but developing leadership characteristics
[00:27.29]at a young age is very important.
[00:29.24]As we get older,
[00:30.56]it becomes harder to overcome bad habits
[00:33.64]and replace them with good ones.
[00:35.15]Possessing leadership qualities is essential,
[00:38.22]both in this life and in the world to come.
[00:41.25]There are certain qualities that one needs to develop
[00:44.45]in order to become a leader:
[00:45.84]justice, judgment3, dependability,
[00:48.71]initiative, decisiveness, tact4, integrity,
[00:52.96]enthusiasm, poise5, unselfishness,
[00:56.90]courage, knowledge and loyalty6.
[00:59.53]You may recognize these as good qualities to have,
[01:02.92]without realizing how they apply to leadership.
[01:05.97]The more that these qualities are part of your nature,
[01:08.83]the more productive and enjoyable your life will be.
[01:11.88]All of these are qualities
[01:13.86]that one must possess to one degree or another.
[01:16.36]Contrary to popular opinion,
[01:18.56]leadership is something that is learned.
[01:20.75]No one is born a leader.
[01:22.71]We are all capable of exhibiting the leadership qualities mentioned above—
[01:27.08]some just choose not to.
[01:28.95]Of course, not everyone can be the “top dog,”
[01:31.89]let alone all the time.
[01:34.20]However, everyone does have the capacity to lead in some way—
[01:37.69]but action is required!
[01:40.00]Understand that learning is a fact of life—
[01:43.16]learning to ride a bike, learning to drive,
[01:45.69]learning to type, learning mathematics, etc.
[01:48.41]All of these activities require action.
[01:50.94]While we are born with many different abilities,
[01:53.88]if we do not harness and develop them,
[01:56.08]those abilities will never come to fruition.
[01:58.36]Youth is an excellent time to start developing leadership traits.
[02:02.73]Take the time to study each one in detail.
[02:05.59]Put them into practice as you interact with other people.
[02:08.87]Determine which areas you are weak in,
[02:11.50]striving to always improve.
[02:13.12]Observe the leaders,
[02:14.77]and how they handle situations and carry themselves.
[02:18.27]Also, study the lives of great leaders.
[02:21.23]The results will serve you in this life—and beyond!
